No name.........started out as solid black & I webbed it & did a clear satin polyurethane over the web so seal it up. Edges only come in solid color as far as I know; it's the Compact Classic pattern. MM

The range sesion yielded 1moa - interesting the 1st and 3rd shots were touching bug eyes, but the second was a moa flier. I figured out afterwards that the front action screw was finger tight. I'll report back after I get a few more rounds down the barrel. “There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don’t care who gets credit.” R. Reagan

I sent it to Hill Country Rifles for their accurizing service, which converted it from a solid 1.5 MOA rifle into a .5 MOA rifle. I took it to Africa a couple times as my plains game rifle. So far it has taken two zebra (Burchell's and Hartmann's Mountain), a Grants, a East African Impala, an eland, a gemsbok, and a springbok. I decided it needed a little spiffing up, so sent it and a blank of New Zealand walnut to Gary Goudy who custom stocked it for me.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
